During the six-month period ended September 30, 2015, in the Digital Entertainment segment, "SENGOKU IXA," a PC browser game, and games for smartphones such as "DRAGON QUEST MONSTERS SUPER LIGHT," "SCHOOLGIRL STRIKERS," "FINAL FANTASY RECORD KEEPER," and "Kai-ri-Sei Million Arthur" have continued to ride high on its already solid growth, and "MOBIUS FINAL FANTASY" made an encouraging start. Expansion disc sales and operations of massively multiplayer online role playing games; "FINAL FANTASY XIV" and "DRAGON QUEST X" have been making favorable performances. Repeat sales of titles for game consoles decreased from the same period of the prior fiscal year.
In the Amusement segment, while sales of amusement machines were sluggish and net sales of this segment decreased, efforts towards efficient store management have been continuing.
In the Publication segment, sales of comic books were sluggish compared with the same period of the prior fiscal year.
In the Merchandising segment, sales of character goods derived from the Group's own IPs increased, primarily thanks to the release of the first expansion disc for "FINAL FANTASY XIV." The Group continued to distribute and license items such as character goods and soundtracks based on the IPs while also strengthening its character goods lineup with additional products from third party IPs and overseas expansions.
